Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3622866A1] A device (30) and method for aerating a food substance (5), the device (30) comprising: an aerator (32), a vessel (1), a drive unit (34) and a mounting (36), wherein the aerator (32) comprises a plurality of filaments (9) being attached to the aerator (32) at their proximal ends (31) and being free at their distal ends (33), every filament (9) having a first state and a second state, wherein the filament (9) undergoes a reversible elastic deformation when being bent by a transverse force from the first state to the second state and wherein the filament performs a spring-back action from the second state to the first state, lowering the spring tension, when the transverse force acting on the filament drops to zero. The aerator (32) is attachable to the drive unit (34) and rotatable by the drive unit (34) thereby defining an axis of rotation (2), the vessel (1) defines a space for holding the food substance (5), the space being bordered at the sides by an inner wall (38) of the vessel (1). The vessel (1) and the drive unit (34) are attachable to the mounting (36), wherein the mounting (36) defines a spatial relationship between the axis of rotation (2) and the inner wall (38) of the vessel (1) such that the distal ends (33) of a fraction of the filaments (9) contact the inner wall (38) of the vessel (1), wherein the inner wall (38) bends the fraction of the filaments (9) by applying the transverse force.
